Chapter 513 The experiment was a complete success
Nathan Harry, when he heard this bad old man's words, he suddenly lost his mood!

A billion dollars seems like a lot!

But you have to know that [-] million of it is the salary owed by the previous laboratory, which means that only [-] million US dollars are actually used for experiments.

And looking at the relevant information on the "Golden Crow Project" announced by Huaxia, the scientific research funding alone exceeds 1000 billion yuan, which is close to 200 billion U.S. dollars in conversion, and everyone knows that Huaxia's RMB purchasing power is very strong. The purchasing power of 1000 billion yuan is in the Huaxia is actually equivalent to US$300 billion, or even US$400 billion in the United States!
Not to mention, hundreds of universities and more than 5 scientific research institutions were used, with a total of more than [-] scientific researchers!

As for them, only a mere 6 million US dollars can be used, and the number of scientific researchers involved is less than 600, and they are less than one-hundredth of others.Whether it is funding or scientific research strength, they are not even one percent of others. They are already behind others, and now they want to achieve cornering overtaking. Why don't you die! ?

Not to mention comparing it with China, which is now known as a "local tyrant", it is compared with the Institute of Plasma Physics under the Max Planck Society in Germany. In the past year, "Spiral Stone 7-X" has raised 50 billion euros from various aspects , the funding is also higher than them, and they have only achieved continuous and stable operation for 15 minutes.

"Your Excellency, you are making things difficult for others! I can't give you a specific time, specific indicators, unless the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory can give us a time and tell us the D-Li interaction. When will the neutron source be produced." Although Harry wanted to punch the bad old man, he still held back and said.

In terms of the ability to shake the pot, these technicians are the real masters!

Officials like Ernest Moniz, who are not from a technical background, do not know what is controlled nuclear fusion, what is involved in controlled nuclear fusion, and what is a neutron source.

As long as one mentions that the progress has not been kept up, the blame can be successfully thrown away.

Ernest Moniz rubbed his temples and said with some headache: "So the key to the problem now is the neutron source?"

"Neutron sources are really important," Harry said.

Harry did not say that even if the problem of the neutron source is solved, there are still a lot of problems that need to be solved. To solve the problem of the neutron source, it is only possible to test the radiation resistance of the material, and the distance from the controllable nuclear fusion to the European "helix 7- The extent of X' is equivalent to the distance from the United States to China!

Just when Ernest Moniz was having a headache for America's controllable nuclear fusion project and didn't know where to start, far away in the desert of China, the second start-up test of the 'Golden Crow Device' was underway.

Although the 'Golden Crow Device' doesn't look much different from the outside, various monitoring data show that the temperature of the reaction chamber in the device is already as high as [-] million degrees Celsius. If you can see it, Then that would be a brighter light than a star.

Under the high temperature of [-] million degrees Celsius, endless energy gushes out like a tide, and is liberated from the tiny atomic nucleus.

A steady stream of energy was converted into electrical energy and sent out. At this point in the experiment, the original input energy has been earned back from the output energy, and it is still a huge profit.

Don't underestimate such a small device. The energy produced by this small device can meet the energy needs of the entire Long Province. After all, compared with the economic vitality of the eastern coast, the current population of Long Province is only two There are more than ten million people, the number of factories is far less than that of the eastern coast, the urbanization is quite different, and the electricity consumption is still much worse.

The plasma gas ionized at high temperature is ejected from the nozzle, cutting the magnetic induction lines at high speed, converting the thermal energy in the reactor into a steady stream of electrical energy, and the monitoring data of this thermal energy converted into electrical energy is continuously displayed on the computer screen, sitting on the The researcher in front of the computer screen locked his eyes on the screen, for fear that there would be abnormal curves on the screen!
Not only are the scientific researchers focused on the experiments, but the security personnel at the base are also on a first-level alert. Anyone who enters this area without permission does not need to report to obtain an order, and the soldiers have the right to shoot and kill the intruders directly.

The security forces on the outer perimeter have already turned on the radar at full power, searching for air targets, all the air defense systems are turned on, and all the anti-aircraft missiles are in the launch state. Once an unidentified aircraft, missile, etc. enters the security range, it is judged to be attacking the base. Will be shot down immediately.

Regarding this, ever since they received the order and rushed to the desert for the first time, they knew very well that their duty was to protect the safety of the base. This was their mission. They were also the only division in the entire army. A soldier retired!They didn't even have a family leave. They learned from their predecessors and guarded the scientific research of the motherland with their loyalty and courage, just like the two bombs and one satellite back then!
Even under the cold northwest wind from Siberia, wearing coats, they resolutely chose to be a loyal guard. Ice warriors abound here!

Fortunately, today is different from the past. The overcoats they wear are all equipped with small air conditioners powered by lithium-air batteries, which provide them with enough warmth and will not cause frostbite or freeze to death.

When the time of the experiment entered the second, when it came to 00:00, the engineer pressed the button and stopped the experiment. The temperature in the reaction chamber dropped sharply from [-] million degrees Celsius, and then the nuclear fusion reaction stopped. Without the support of temperature, the nuclear fusion reaction cannot proceed.

However, to check the device, it will not be carried out until after the subsequent cold cutting.

Now that the experiment is over, no one celebrates the complete success of the experiment, but meticulously collects data, writes reports, and summarizes them.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, no one will choose to go to bed early tonight.

Although the experiment lasted only one hour, it was an hour of historic significance. It will be recorded in the annals of China, and it is destined to be recorded in the annals of the world!

From this moment on, it can be said that controllable nuclear fusion has officially moved from the laboratory to commercial application. What the laboratory needs to do is only further research on controllable nuclear fusion, including research on materials, research on improving energy conversion rates, and Research on miniaturization and light weight of controllable nuclear fusion!
Of course, these studies will be later. The controllable nuclear fusion of the scientific research base in 2024 is mainly to conduct multiple experiments on the "Jinwu Device". In terms of testing, it can be said that an experiment is carried out almost once a month.

By the end of this year, everyone will not be in the scientific research base, but have new tasks, or return to the original unit, or be transferred to other units, and this huge base will be transformed into a controllable The nuclear fusion power station has become the first controllable nuclear fusion power station in the country, supplying the electricity demand of the entire Long Province.

Everything about this huge scientific research base will only be found in historical materials, documentaries, etc.!
Qin Yuanqing held a temporary meeting in the general command conference room to carry out the deployment in 2024. This is the last year of the experimental stage, and it is also the most important and least important year.

It is said that he is the most important because after the 'Golden Crow Device' has made a new breakthrough, it will carry out tests in various aspects, including the longest continuous running time test, the highest temperature test, etc., so as to obtain the optimal design running time, the most Optimum operating temperature and other indicators related to future commercial applications.

This is also the indicator of the first generation of controllable nuclear fusion power plants. With future research, like nuclear fission, the second generation of controllable nuclear fusion power plants, the third generation of controllable nuclear fusion power plants and the fourth generation of controllable nuclear fusion power plants will be developed. There is an obvious generational difference in nuclear fusion power plants!

From the current point of view, the power generation efficiency of the controllable nuclear fusion realized by today's technical means is already 5 times that of the fission power station of the same level. It can meet the electricity demand of the whole Longzhou Province.

Even if this figure is magnified ten times, it will have great social benefits and economic efficiency.

Because compared with fission power plants, controllable nuclear fusion power plants are safer, and there will be no major nuclear accidents.In fact, human beings have experienced so many nuclear accidents and have been made crazy.

Moreover, nuclear fusion power plants will not produce nuclear waste. Now the whole world is feeling headaches about the disposal of nuclear waste. The radiation of nuclear waste is always painful. Even if it is secretly discharged into the sea, the surrounding seawater will also be polluted by radiation. , the sea creatures have been mutated, look at the seas around Japan today, who else dares to eat the fish there.

Moreover, nuclear waste is extremely radioactive, with a half-life of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years.That is to say, in a few hundred thousand years, these nuclear wastes can still affect human beings and the environment.How to safely and permanently dispose of nuclear waste is a major topic for scientists, but there is still no good way!

But nuclear fusion power plants, this problem is not a problem!

Therefore, the next test experiment is also very important!
It's not important because at this stage, all the necessary technologies are available, and nothing fundamental will be involved.

Of course, Qin Yuan cleared up the repeated emphasis on work. One of the topics of the meeting was the list of people who will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. , including national-level rewards for meritorious deeds, especially the list of rewards for meritorious deeds at the national level later needs to be representative and stand up to scrutiny, so that it can truly imitate.

As for Qin Yuanqing himself, he needs to review different materials. Those materials can be uploaded to the public for publicity, and everyone knows which ones need to be kept secret, and what is the level of confidentiality.As well as the review of researchers' papers, not all papers are suitable for publication, and many papers need to be kept confidential.
